So, I’d love to start my own small Internet blog, and I want to make it without any extra software, just plain HTML+CSS, maybe some PHP for convenience.

I have near-zero experience in programming (yes I know HTML is not programming language, but you get the point), and I just finished a wonderful starting guide, HTML For People. I loved it a lot, but it only covers the absolute basics, and I’d love to have a deeper dive.

Are there any HTML, CSS, PHP guides that are free, text-based (so, not YouTube videos), and give more than the very basics? Would love to hear your recommendations!

    Oh, nice! I knew a bit about MDN, but didn’t know they actually provide a course. Thanks!

    Yeah, the plan for now is to learn how it all works, and do it fully manually. Maybe then I’ll get scared of the complexity of what I want to do and will end up using a generator for the final thing, but for now, my goal and idea is to not rely on anything aside from the basic building blocks of the Internet. It’s both a way to study and kind of a digital independence thing. I want to make sure that, regardless of what tools can go down, I’ll still be able to keep it going as usual and skilled enough to modify it as needed. I want something that will work and adapt to my (fairly basic) needs pretty much forever.
